And now, for Part 2 of Jessica & Albert’s Trash The Dress Session!! (scroll down or click here to see Part 1)

Once Albert got home from work, we headed outside to take advantage of the remaining sunlight while the rain let up. We had to go back to the graffiti wall…

I would love to know what he said to her here!

Now, you may remember from their eSession photos, that Albert can jump. Like, he can jump really high. So, we had to recreate the magic…

He even busted out some new moves!

Then we headed back down…

…and found a little patch of sunlight breaking through the clouds…

…which happened to be right next to this really cool alley.

This one is my favorite jumping shot of them all!!!

Then we went back to the house to capture Jessica & Albert in their natural environment… eh hem…

Nerf Guns are apparently the best wedding gift, ever :)

Unless, of course, you give them his & her Macs!

Jessica & Albert – I love you guys! It’s been soooo fun hanging out with you, photographing you, and getting to know you both over the last year! I can’t wait to put together an awesome and FUN wedding album for you in the coming weeks :)

Oh, and for the record, after getting it cleaned, Jessica donated her dress to Brides Against Breast Cancer – which I think is pretty freakin’ awesome!!! If you want to learn more about the organization or want to find out how to donate your dress, click here!

Jessica’s Trash The Dress Session – part 1

Last Spring I posted a Trash The Dress session that I shot in Las Vegas while I was there for WPPI. In the same post, I offered a FREE TTD session to the first 2 brides to respond. As I expected, Jessica was the first to take me up on my offer! (no one else took me up on it, so I suppose there’s still one more spot available…) I think it’s high time I shared the photos from our afternoon together. We had such a fun shoot and there are so many hilarious and wonderful images that it’s gonna get 2 posts!!

First up, are the images of we captured of Jessica before her honey, Albert got home…

This is the garage behind their apartment building. The perfect spot for portraits, especially on a rainy day…

The roof of the garage has this awesome deck…

I think this one’s my FAVORITE!!

The weather wasn’t really cooperating with us, so we had to get a little creative… We decided to photograph Jessica preparing dinner for Albert – wifely duties and all ;) But first, we had to go to the grocery store to pick up a few necessitites….

I mean, how awesome is this?! A bride walking around a grocery store in her wedding dress?! It was so fun!

we were getting all sorts of crazy looks from people…

Eventually the manager kicked me out for taking photos. Um, I’m fairly certain that I have a right to take pictures in a grocery store, but whatever! We had the items we needed, so we headed back to the house to cook…

Isn’t this how all wives cook dinner?

mmmmm, yummy cheese puffs!

And while we waited for Albert to come home, life went on as usual…

Haha! Jessica you’re so fun!!!!

Stay tuned for part 2… :)

Trash the dress – Vegas style

I’m back from Vegas!! It was a great trip if you don’t count getting horribly sick, completely losing my voice, and an incorrectly scheduled flight home… Seriously though, it was really great – I got to meet a boat load of people, listen to some amazing photographers, check out the most ginormous trade show ever, and take in the sights of Las Vegas. I’ll post more on all of that later, but first I wanted to share the photos from the Trash The Dress session at the Neon Boneyard. It was a very cool location and the couples were great to work with, not to mention all of the photographers I worked with too! Check out the pics…

I totally could have shot there all day, even without a bride & groom. The signs are really cool and such an interesting piece of Vegas history.

This couple got married the day before and their photographer helped plan this little excursion. They were totally sweet and such troopers – the bride’s feet were practically bleeding from her shoes and she still tromped around in them all afternoon!

After shooting with them for a while, I noticed the other couple we were working with, and I got majorly distracted. These two were awesome! They were very comfortable in front of the camera, totally hot, and between the blue shoes and all the tattoos – they were incredible to photograph!

the paparazzi…

I think this one is my favorite shot of the day.

It was a great shoot! I definitely have to do more of these Trash The Dress sessions – they are so fun. TTD sessions are not so much about “trashing” the dress as not worrying about the dress. It’s so nice to have the couple completely relaxed and have plenty of time to shoot without worrying about rushing off to the reception. For all of my brides who are reading – if you’re interested in a Trash The Dress session after your wedding, let me know! The first 2 brides to respond will get the session for FREE! So, leave a comment below or send me an email…
